[quote]My frustration is that I feel priced out of a market because of fraudsters and people with no ethics. And on top of that the Government is coming in and saying that’s okay we’ll bail you out. Meanwhile both myself and fiancee are the highest tax bracket so you better believe over the next decade or more we’ll be paying the brunt of the cost of this. Not to mention with school debt and the cost of liing in Southern California we certainly don’t feel rich by any means.[/quote]
GoUSC,
the place you are looking at is less than 900K.
If both you and fiance are in highest tax bracket as you have stated, then your combine income is at least 600K/year.
You should have zero problem with affordability.
lastly, if you don’t feel rich with combined income of $600K+/year, then maybe you should change your thinking.
